October PU Mini

Update: I just learned that Windows users have trouble with files having asterisks in the file name, so I renamed all my files to have no asterisks, rezipped them and re-uploaded to 4shared. This is the only site at which I use an asterisk in my designer name and the only site at which problems have been reported, so I hope the files will unzip OK now.

DarlineHM: I zip my files with the standard Mac zipping software and I think that may occasionally cause problems for Windows users. I successfully d/l'd and unzipped my files from 4shared, so I recommend trying a different unzipping program (which is what I do when I have problems with a zip file). I like zipeg, free, available for both windows and Mac. It handles most zip files that my standard mac unzipping software doesn't.

Nice kit! I also tried to unzip the files and have the same problem Darline had. It does not recognize the files and when it attempted to unzip, it says there is an invalid character in the file names. I suspect it does not like the * in h*mom.. I just realized I had the same issue with the August mini and was never able to unzip that one either.

"Some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them."

I am unable to unzip the files too. It's because of the * in the file names. My computer will not allow certain symbols in file names. It's too bad, because I really liked your kit. You may want to think about changing your designing name a little.

To all who had trouble with unzipping, DarlineHM PM'd me to say she successfully unzipped my original files using zipeg. No one at other sites has complained, so the problem is likely the * (which isn't in my name at other sites). I have renamed all the files to remove the asterisks (from all my files posted since July) and re-uploaded new zip files to 4shared.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with the * (I've got a t-shirt that says windows s---ks).
